Mahmut Horasan
Director, Principal

I have been in the Fire Safety Engineering industry for almost 20 years. I was a senior lecturer at Victoria University, section manager at Scientific Services Laboratory and now I am a director of Scientific Fire Services. I have also contributed to the development of guidelines, conducted research, presented papers in international conferences and published various papers. After being involved in hundreds of projects both in Australia and South East Asia I maintain the belief that “fire safety and risk” is one of the most challenging and yet satisfying fields of engineering and Scientific Fire Services is among the best positioned and qualified companies to provide highly innovative service in this field.

Russell Kilmartin
Director, Principal

I have had over a decade of involvement in fire safety and risk engineering and many years of experience in active fire protection equipment testing prior to that. I find being a director of Scientific Fire Services and leading a great team of engineers in many challenging projects extremely gratifying. I believe that the most important challenge for Scientific Fire Services and the fire safety engineering community is ensuring science and knowledge continues to underpin our industry. Scientific Fire Services is well placed to take on this and other challenges and will remain among the leaders of the fire safety engineering industry both in Australia and S. E. Asia for many years to come.
